There are a number of legends associated with this 14th-century
castle, and it has a reputation of being haunted. It has 2 famous
female ghosts; the White Lady and the Blue Lady. According to legend
the White Lady is the spirit of Margaret Pomeroy, who starved to death
while imprisoned in the dungeons by her jealous sister. Apparently she
haunts the dark dungeons, and rises from St Margaret’s Tower to the
castle walls. The Blue Lady is not confined to specific areas and is
supposed to lure people into parts of the ruin. Apparently it’s a very
bad idea to follow her!

9. Dominican Hill, Baguio City, Philippines.

According to some people the ghosts of people who were killed during
the war haunt this place. Some say the patients who died here despite
having the hope to be alive turned into ghosts. Hearing the banging of
doors, windows, clattering of dishes and screaming voices during night
are reported by people.

This magnificent castle is typically medieval, perched atop a rocky
crag, giving it an amazing vista of Scottish hills. But inside the
empty halls and narrow streets of Edinburgh, there are the
echoes of the dead. At least, that’s what has been reported. Hot
spots for specters include the castle’s prison cells, the South Bridge
vaults and Mary’s King Close, a disused street used to quarantine
and eventually entomb victims of the plague. There are also reports
of ghost dogs, a headless drummer, and the bodies of prisoners
taken during the French seven-year war and the American War of
Independence.

New South Wales. Mrs Crawley, the owner of the house never came out of
her home after the death of her husband in 23 years of her remaining
life except for two times. After her death her ghost haunts the place
particularly her former room. Bodiless ghost, phantom face in the
window, floating apparition, strange and ghostly voices, automatic
turning on and off lights are some haunting experiences of the people.

were breathless and turned purple and almost died, they became normal
after coming out from the room.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, a trip to the Ancient Ram Inn
is an unsettling experience. Its creaky floorboards, cold bare walls,
musty smells and dimly lit nooks and crannies epitomise everything a
haunted house should be. And the stories attached to this creepy
building are not for the fainthearted: Murder, satanism and child
sacrifice are just a few of the dark deeds said to have occurred here,
oh and did we mention apparently it’s built on a pagan burial ground?

5. Highgate Cemetery, North London, England

By night, Highgate Cemetery is like something out of a horror movie.
Eerie crooked gravestones, headless angles covered in ivy, dark
overgrown passages between the tombs, it’s no wonder this is Britain’s
number-one ghost spot. Despite it’s chilling atmosphere, by day Highgate
Cemetery showcases some of the Britain’s most spectacular Gothic
architecture, offers fascinating guided tours. It’s also the burial
place of Karl Marx.

4. Bhangarh Fort, India

Bhangarh Fort is on way from Jaipur to Alwar in Rajasthan, India.
According to a legend, Singhia, a black magic tantrik cursed the palace
that everybody would die in the palace and their souls will stay there
for centuries without rebirth. Another interesting point is, all the
houses in this area are without roofs because whenever a house is built
with roof, the roof collapses. This is the called most haunting place
in India. People who visit this place experience anxiety and
restlessness. It is said that nobody returns from this place that stays
there after dark. Government prohibited this area from staying after
sunset. You will find a board installed by Archaeological Survey of
India displaying “Staying after sunset is strictly prohibited in this
area”.

The haunting of the Screaming Tunnel is one of Niagara Falls’ most
enduring legends. Located off Warner Road, the tunnel runs under the
railway tracks that link Niagara Falls to Toronto and New York City.
According to local legend, over a century ago, a farm house located
just past the south entrance to the tunnel caught fire one night. A
young girl, her clothes engulfed in flames, fled screaming from the
house. She ran through the tunnel in an attempt to extinguish her
garments but collapsed and died on the tunnel floor. A variation of
this story has the girl set ablaze in the tunnel by her enraged father
when he learned his wife had won custody of their children during an
nasty divorce battle. Another version tells of a young girl who was
raped inside the tunnel and her body burned to cover the evidence. All
these stories allege that if you stand in the middle of the dark tunnel
at midnight and light a match, the flame will go out and a girl’s
screams will be heard.

Changi Beach served as a popular killing ground for the Japanese
during the Sook Ching massacre of The Second World War. Thousands of
Chinese were tortured and killed during this Operation as they were
suspected of being anti-Japanese. Strange crying and screaming are
reported by people. The heads of the Chinese dead bodies are sometimes
seen flying everywhere and headless bodies walk around the beach. The
scariest thing is that the ghosts leave blood stains. During nights
people observe dug holes that appear as if they were used for burying
bodies.
